Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de support plan destiné à être éclairant, tel qu'une tablette, une console ou étagère, et destiné à être monté en applique contre un élément plan vertical, par exemple un panneau mural, un mur ou un fond de meuble.The invention relates to a plane support device intended to be illuminating, such as a tablet, a console or a shelf, and intended to be mounted as a surface against a vertical plane element, for example a wall panel, a wall or a floor. furniture.

L'invention sera plus particulièrement décrite en regard d'un dispositif plan avec éclairage, utilisé dans les magasins pour servir d'accessoires de présentation, ou dans des penderies ou des dressings, sans toutefois y être limitée. Elle s'appliquera à toutes utilisations dans un bâtiment pour procurer un dispositif de support plan et éclairant, en particulier à fonction d'étagère ou similaire, à apposer contre une paroi verticale.The invention will be more particularly described with reference to a flat device with lighting, used in stores to serve as presentation accessories, or in wardrobes or walk-in wardrobes, without being limited thereto. It will apply to all uses in a building to provide a flat and illuminating support device, in particular shelf function or the like, to affix against a vertical wall.

Aujourd'hui, l'éclairage dans les magasins joue un rôle notable dans la présentation des articles et l'ambiance du magasin. Il influe sur la perception de la clientèle et favorise en particulier son acte d'achat.Today, the lighting in the stores plays a significant role in the presentation of the items and the mood of the store. It influences the perception of the customers and favors in particular its act of purchase.

Les tablettes suspendues utilisées en tant que présentoirs dans les magasins sont à présent associées le plus souvent à un éclairage.Suspended shelves used as display shelves in shops are now most often associated with lighting.

Un principe connu d'intégration d'éclairage à une tablette et de son alimentation électrique consiste à :

  • fixer au panneau mural destiné à porter la tablette, un rail de support pour la tablette et d'apport d'une alimentation électrique,
  • rapporter, par collage par exemple, sous le dessous de la tablette un éclairage du type bandelette dotée de diodes électroluminescentes (DEL ou LED en anglais),
  • rapporter, par collage par exemple, sous le dessous de la tablette un conducteur électrique en ruban qui est connecté à la bandelette à LED et s'étend jusqu'au bord du fond de la tablette, le fond de la tablette étant la zone destinée à être associée au panneau mural via le profilé,
  • fixer sous la tablette des moyens de fixation mécanique destinés à coopérer avec le profilé mural,
  • rapporter un connecteur électrique en le montant sur le bord du fond de la tablette pour coopérer d'une part avec le conducteur électrique en ruban relié à la bandelette de LED, et d'autre part avec le profilé mural d'apport de l'alimentation électrique.
A known principle of integration of lighting with a tablet and its power supply consists of:
  • attach to the wall panel to carry the tablet, a support rail for the tablet and supply a power supply,
  • report, by gluing for example, under the underside of the tablet strip-type lighting with light-emitting diodes (LEDs or LEDs in English),
  • report, by gluing for example, under the underside of the tablet a ribbon electrical conductor which is connected to the strip LED and extends to the edge of the bottom of the tablet, the bottom of the tablet being the area intended to be associated with the wall panel via the profile,
  • fix under the shelf mechanical fixing means intended to cooperate with the wall profile,
  • report an electrical connector by mounting it on the edge of the bottom of the tablet to cooperate on the one hand with the electrical ribbon conductor connected to the LED strip, and on the other hand with the power supply wall profile electric.

Cependant, un tel système d'éclairage et de connexion électrique présente certains inconvénients.However, such a lighting system and electrical connection has some disadvantages.

Le coût de fabrication et d'installation d'un tel système est élevé.The cost of manufacturing and installing such a system is high.

Les conducteurs électriques fixés sous la tablette sont visibles, ce qui ne participe pas à l'esthétique de la tablette et donc à l'esthétique de l'ensemble du meuble de présentation dans un magasin comportant généralement plusieurs tablettes de ce type, notamment agencées en hauteur.The electrical conductors fixed under the shelf are visible, which does not participate in the aesthetics of the tablet and therefore the aesthetics of the entire display cabinet in a store generally comprising several tablets of this type, in particular arranged in height.

De plus, ce système nécessite une mise en oeuvre fastidieuse, de nombreux éléments étant à monter.In addition, this system requires tedious implementation, many elements to be mounted.

Par ailleurs, les éléments constitutifs de la fixation et de la connexion électrique sont spécifiques : les profilés outre leur fonction de support de la tablette doivent intégrer des moyens dédiés à l'alimentation électrique ; les connecteurs électriques d'interface entre les profilés et les tablettes sont conçus pour coopérer mutuellement avec d'une part les profilés, d'autre part avec les conducteurs électriques des éclairages, tout en combinant une fixation mécanique appropriée avec le bord des tablettes.Moreover, the components of the fixing and the electrical connection are specific: the profiles in addition to their support function of the tablet must include means dedicated to the power supply; the electrical interface connectors between the profiles and the shelves are designed to cooperate with each other on the one hand the profiles, on the other hand with the electrical conductors of the lights, while combining an appropriate mechanical fastening with the edge of the shelves.

La demande de brevet GB 2 255 820 propose un portique avec deux montants métalliques reliés électriquement à des bornes d'alimentation, et des tablettes éclairantes dont chacune comporte deux pattes de fixation métalliques qui coopèrent avec respectivement les deux montants pour d'une part fixer la tablette et d'autre part la connecter électriquement. Cependant, les pattes de fixation sont visibles, ne rendant pas la tablette esthétique, et surtout elles sont de ce fait directement accessibles, ce qui n'est pas sans risque d'un éventuel court-circuit si un objet métallique vient à toucher les deux pattes. Ce dispositif ne permet pas de répondre aux normes actuelles imposées dans les magasins.The patent application GB 2,255,820 proposes a gantry with two metallic uprights electrically connected to power supply terminals, and illuminating tablets, each of which has two metal fastening tabs which cooperate with the two uprights respectively for firstly fixing the tablet and secondly for connecting it. electrically. However, the brackets are visible, not making the tablet aesthetic, and especially they are therefore directly accessible, which is not without risk of a possible short circuit if a metal object comes to touch both paws. This device does not meet current standards imposed in stores.

Le document US 2005/0237732 montre le préambule de la revendication 1.The document US 2005/0237732 shows the preamble of claim 1.

L'invention, telle que divulguée dans les revendications 1 et 12, a donc pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités en proposant un dispositif de support éclairant aisé et rapide à installer, sans nécessiter d'outillage spécifique, tout en étant esthétique, de moindre coût, et garantissant une connexion électrique fiable sans accessibilité à des éléments métalliques, et une fixation mécanique qui permette de résister au poids destiné à être supporter. En complément, le dispositif permet de garantir d'être monté de niveau.The invention, as disclosed in claims 1 and 12, is therefore intended to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing an illuminating support device easy and quick to install, without requiring specific tools, while being aesthetic, less cost, and ensuring a reliable electrical connection without accessibility to metal elements, and a mechanical attachment that allows to withstand the weight to be supported. In addition, the device ensures that it is level.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de support plan, du type tablette, destiné à être éclairant, comportant :

  • un corps formant le support plan et présentant deux faces générales opposées (dites supérieure et inférieure en position montée du dispositif) et un chant périphérique,
  • des moyens de connexion électrique destinés à la connexion électrique avec des moyens d'éclairage,
  • et au moins deux éléments rigides constituant à la fois :
    • ∘ des moyens de fixation mécanique, et
    • ∘ des moyens d'interface d'alimentation électrique entre d'une part lesdits moyens de connexion électrique destinés à être connectés aux moyens d'éclairage, et d'autre part l'extérieur du dispositif de support,
le dispositif étant prêt à être posé pour concomitamment réaliser la fixation mécanique et la connexion électrique, et
est caractérisé en ce que chaque élément rigide des moyens de fixation mécanique comporte chacun d'une part une partie longiligne incorporée ou rendue solidaire de l'intérieur du corps du dispositif, en s'étendant entre les deux faces générales et depuis un côté du corps en direction du côté opposé, et de sorte à former un ensemble monobloc avec ledit corps, et d'autre part une partie qui fait saillie par rapport au chant du corps, ladite partie en saillie comprenant une portion proximale sortant du chant qui présente une hauteur d'au plus l'épaisseur du chant sans dépasser des plans contenant les faces générales du corps.According to the invention, the plane support device, of the tablet type, intended to be illuminating, comprising:
  • a body forming the plane support and having two opposite general faces (said upper and lower in the mounted position of the device) and a peripheral edge,
  • electrical connection means for the electrical connection with lighting means,
  • and at least two rigid elements constituting at the same time:
    • ∘ mechanical fixing means, and
    • ∘ power supply interface means between firstly said electrical connection means intended to be connected to the lighting means, and secondly the outside of the support device,
the device being ready to be laid to concomitantly achieve the mechanical fixing and the electrical connection, and
is characterized in that each rigid element of the mechanical fixing means each comprises on the one hand an elongated portion incorporated or made integral with the interior of the body of the device, extending between the two general faces and from one side of the body towards the opposite side, and so as to form a one-piece assembly with said body, and secondly a portion which protrudes relative to the edge of the body, said projecting portion comprising a proximal portion coming out of the edge which has a height not more than the thickness of the song without exceeding plans containing the general faces of the body.

La partie en saillie, y compris la portion sortant du chant du corps, sont invisibles en position montée du dispositif.The protruding portion, including the portion leaving the edge of the body, are invisible in the mounted position of the device.

Ainsi, les moyens de fixation mécanique intègrent les moyens d'interface d'alimentation électrique formant un ensemble tout en un. Les moyens de fixation mécanique possèdent, outre la fonction de fixation du dispositif sur un panneau mural ou similaire, la fonction de connexion et d'alimentation électrique entre l'éclairage et une alimentation électrique extérieure.Thus, the mechanical fixing means integrate the power supply interface means forming an all-in-one assembly. The mechanical fastening means have, in addition to the function of fixing the device on a wall panel or the like, the function of connection and power supply between the lighting and an external power supply.

Cette configuration réunissant les deux fonctions de fixation et de connexion électrique simplifie la fabrication de la tablette et procure au final un système très peu cher non seulement en coût de fabrication mais également en coût d'installation.This configuration combining the two functions of fixing and electrical connection simplifies the manufacture of the tablet and ultimately provides a very low cost system not only in manufacturing cost but also in installation cost.

Aucun outillage n'est nécessaire. En outre, la tablette en étant fixée mécaniquement à un panneau mural sera directement connectée et alimentée électriquement. Aucun moyen de connexion électrique n'est à prévoir spécifiquement en sus des fixations mécaniques, et n'est à rapporter au dispositif.No tools are necessary. In addition, the tablet being mechanically fixed to a wall panel will be directly connected and electrically powered. No means of electrical connection is to be provided specifically in addition to the mechanical fasteners, and is to report to the device.

La fixation mécanique concomitamment à la connexion électrique pour l'alimentation électrique ne nécessite que l'opération de fixation de la tablette à son support mural.The mechanical attachment concomitant with the electrical connection for the power supply only requires the operation of fixing the tablet to its wall support.

Le dispositif de support de l'invention peut comprendre ou non l'éclairage. L'éclairage peut ainsi être intégré en usine lors de la fabrication du dispositif, ou bien être rapporté ultérieurement, les moyens d'éclairage pouvant être amovibles. L'éclairage peut être amovible, et donc interchangeable.The support device of the invention may or may not include lighting. The lighting can be integrated at the factory during manufacture of the device, or be reported later, the lighting means can be removable. The lighting can be removable, and therefore interchangeable.

Les moyens de fixation mécanique et donc de connexion électrique sont donc rendus invisibles en position montée du dispositif. Il n'y a ainsi aucun risque d'accéder ou de toucher aux moyens de fixation (les parties en saillie) lorsque le dispositif (la tablette) est montée et donc connectée électriquement. Le dispositif est sécuritaire.The mechanical fixing means and therefore the electrical connection are thus made invisible in the mounted position of the device. There is thus no risk of accessing or touching the fixing means (the protruding parts) when the device (the tablet) is mounted and therefore electrically connected. The device is safe.

En outre, la partie longiligne est intégrée à l'intérieur du corps du dispositif et est inaccessible.In addition, the elongated portion is integrated within the body of the device and is inaccessible.

Par ailleurs, cette partie longiligne permet d'apporter le courant électrique au plus prêt de l'avant du dispositif. De plus, la partie longiligne permet de mieux supporter le poids que le dispositif est destiné à recevoir.Moreover, this elongated part can bring the electric current closer to the front of the device. In addition, the elongated portion allows to better withstand the weight that the device is intended to receive.

Selon une caractéristique, la partie longiligne présente une largeur selon la dimension transversale à l'axe longitudinal de ladite partie longiligne, qui est adaptée à la charge que devra supporter le dispositif.According to one feature, the elongate portion has a width along the dimension transverse to the longitudinal axis of said elongated portion, which is adapted to the load that will support the device.

Les moyens de fixation mécanique et donc également d'interface d'alimentation électrique sont rigides. L'élément allongé ou longiligne s'étendant en étant solidaire de l'intérieur du corps du dispositif, tandis que la partie en saillie prolonge l'élément longiligne et présente une forme adaptée pour coopérer mutuellement par accrochage avec le panneau de fixation ou la paroi murale, en particulier par accrochage simple sans pièce complémentaire de fixation.The mechanical fixing means and therefore also the power supply interface are rigid. The elongated or elongated element extending being integral with the interior of the body of the device, while the protruding portion extends the elongated element and has a shape adapted to cooperate mutually by hooking with the fixing panel or the wall mural, in particular by simple hanging without additional attachment piece.

Les moyens de fixation mécanique et d'interface électrique comportent ainsi une partie intégrée ou solidaire du corps du dispositif, et une partie qui est en saillie du corps du dispositif et destinée à la fixation mécanique du dispositif et à permettre concomitamment la connexion électrique à une alimentation électrique extérieure, en particulier la partie en saillie présentant une forme adaptée pour coopérer mutuellement par accrochage avec un élément mural, en particulier par accrochage simple sans pièce complémentaire de fixation.The mechanical fixing means and the electrical interface thus comprise an integrated or integral part of the body of the device, and a part which protrudes from the body of the device and intended for the mechanical fixing of the device and to concomitantly allow the electrical connection to a device. external power supply, in particular the protruding portion having a shape adapted to cooperate mutually by hooking with a wall element, in particular by simple attachment without additional attachment piece.

Les moyens de fixation mécanique comportent ainsi une partie intégrée dans le corps du dispositif, c'est-à-dire logée dans la masse, sans être visible de l'extérieur du dispositif, et une partie qui est en saillie du corps du dispositif, destinée à la fixation mécanique du dispositif sur le panneau mural et à permettre concomitamment la connexion électrique à une alimentation électrique extérieure.The mechanical fixing means thus comprise a part integrated in the body of the device, that is to say housed in the mass, without being visible from the outside of the device, and a portion which projects from the body of the device, intended for the mechanical fixing of the device on the wall panel and at the same time allowing the electrical connection to an external power supply.

Selon l'invention, le corps est constitué d'une partie inférieure et d'une partie supérieure solidaires, qui renferment au moins un logement pour accueillir la partie longiligne de chaque élément rigide.According to the invention, the body consists of a lower portion and a solid upper portion, which enclose at least one housing for accommodating the elongate portion of each rigid member.

Les moyens de fixation mécanique (formant aussi les moyens d'interface d'alimentation électrique), en particulier les parties longilignes, ont une géométrie d'extension adaptée pour relier la zone où se situera l'éclairage à la zone arrière de fixation du dispositif (de la tablette).The mechanical fixing means (also forming the power supply interface means), in particular the elongated parts, have an extension geometry adapted to connect the area where the lighting will be located to the rear fixing area of the device. (from the tablet).

Les moyens de fixation mécanique (et donc d'interface d'alimentation électrique) sont en un matériau électriquement conducteur, tel que métallique, par exemple en acier inoxydable.The mechanical fixing means (and therefore the power supply interface) are made of an electrically conductive material, such as metal, for example stainless steel.

Avantageusement, les moyens de fixation mécanique et d'interface d'alimentation électrique sont au nombre de deux éléments constituant respectivement une borne positive et une borne négative d'alimentation.Advantageously, the mechanical fixing means and the power supply interface are two elements respectively constituting a positive terminal and a negative power supply terminal.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les moyens de connexion électrique destinés à la connexion électrique avec les moyens d'éclairage sont associés de manière amovible aux moyens de fixation mécanique et d'interface d'alimentation électrique, en particulier à l'opposé de la partie en saillie du corps du dispositif et à l'extrémité libre de la partie longiligne.According to another characteristic, the electrical connection means intended for electrical connection with the lighting means are removably associated with the mechanical fixing means and the power supply interface, in particular opposite the protruding from the body of the device and at the free end of the elongated portion.

Avantageusement, la partie longiligne comporte en son extrémité libre une forme adaptée pour se connecter par enfichage ou clipsage aux moyens d'éclairage. Ainsi, on peut aisément changer les moyens d'éclairage.Advantageously, the elongate portion has at its free end a shape adapted to connect by plugging or clipping to the lighting means. Thus, one can easily change the lighting means.

Avantageusement, la partie en saillie des moyens de fixation mécanique forme une patte d'accrochage comprenant la portion en saillie du chant du corps, cette portion formant une gorge et étant totalement ouverte en direction du plan contenant la face supérieure du corps du dispositif, et une portion opposée présentant au moins une butée qui s'étend dans un plan perpendiculaire au fond de la gorge.Advantageously, the projecting portion of the mechanical fastening means form a hooking tab comprising the protruding portion of the edge of the body, this portion forming a groove and being fully open. direction of the plane containing the upper face of the body of the device, and an opposite portion having at least one stop which extends in a plane perpendicular to the bottom of the groove.

La patte d'accrochage présente par exemple une forme en C, ou une pluralité de crans étagés, dont le premier cran constitue la portion en saillie du chant du corps.The hooking lug has for example a C-shape, or a plurality of stepped notches, the first notch constitutes the protruding portion of the body edge.

Enfin, selon encore une autre caractéristique, le dispositif comporte des moyens de réglage du niveau (horizontal) de la face supérieure sans avoir à démonter le dispositif (la tablette) lorsqu'il est monté. Ces moyens de réglage se présentent en particulier sous la forme d'une molette agencée en dépassant de la face inférieure du corps du dispositif du côté du chant arrière, pour l'actionnement de ladite molette, et en étant apte à dépasser du chant du dispositif. La molette est vissée dans le corps du dispositif et est apte à être dévissée ; la molette présente une face dite externe qui est rentrée dans le corps du dispositif ou est au plus coplanaire avec le chant arrière du dispositif lorsque la molette est complètement vissée dans le corps du dispositif, la face externe étant destinée à venir en saillie du chant arrière du dispositif si besoin pour régler le niveau (l'horizontalité) du dispositif.Finally, according to yet another feature, the device comprises means for adjusting the level (horizontal) of the upper face without having to disassemble the device (the tablet) when it is mounted. These adjustment means are in particular in the form of a wheel arranged protruding from the lower face of the body of the device on the side of the rear edge, for the actuation of said wheel, and being able to protrude from the edge of the device . The wheel is screwed into the body of the device and is able to be unscrewed; the wheel has a so-called external face that is retracted into the body of the device or is at most coplanar with the rear edge of the device when the wheel is completely screwed into the body of the device, the outer face being intended to protrude from the rear edge the device if needed to adjust the level (horizontality) of the device.

La molette comporte un corps fileté cylindrique et une tête à paroi circulaire périphérique et perpendiculaire au corps. De préférence, la paroi circulaire est crantée pour une meilleure préhension. La paroi circulaire délimite deux faces, une face dite externe, plane, et une face interne opposée reliée au corps fileté perpendiculairement. Le pas de vis du corps fileté est micrométrique.The wheel has a cylindrical threaded body and a peripheral circular wall head and perpendicular to the body. Preferably, the circular wall is notched for a better grip. The circular wall delimits two faces, a so-called outer face, plane, and an opposite inner face connected to the perpendicularly threaded body. The thread pitch of the threaded body is micrometric.

La molette est agencée/logée dans le corps du dispositif de façon que, d'une part la paroi circulaire fasse saillie par rapport à la face inférieure du dispositif (de la tablette) et du côté du chant arrière (chant associé à la partie en saillie/patte d'accrochage), et d'autre part la face externe de la molette soit coplanaire avec le chant arrière du dispositif. Le corps fileté cylindrique de la molette est logé dans un évidement oblong taraudé configuré dans l'épaisseur du dispositif et orienté de l'arrière vers l'avant et de taille limitée pour juste contenir le corps cylindrique de la molette. Le corps fileté de la molette coopère avec l'évidement taraudé de manière à pouvoir être dévissé (ou revissé), engendrant alors l'extraction de la face externe de la molette vers l'extérieur de la tablette.The wheel is arranged / housed in the body of the device so that, on the one hand, the circular wall protrudes with respect to the lower face of the device (of the tablet) and the side of the rear edge (singing associated with the part in protrusion / hooking tab), and secondly the outer face of the wheel is coplanar with the rear edge of the device. The cylindrical threaded body of the wheel is housed in a threaded oblong recess configured in the thickness of the device and oriented from the back to the front and of limited size to just contain the cylindrical body of the wheel. The threaded body of the wheel cooperates with the threaded recess so as to be unscrewed (or screwed down), thus causing the extraction of the outer face of the wheel to the outside of the tablet.

Ainsi, le dépassement de la molette au niveau de la face inférieure de la tablette permet de la manoeuvrer (la faire tourner), tout en étant extrêmement discrète visuellement. Par ailleurs, lors du montage de la tablette, la molette et donc le corps cylindrique sont complètement rentrés dans leur logement, la face externe de la molette étant alors au plus coplanaire avec le chant arrière de la tablette. En position montée de la tablette, le chant arrière de la tablette et donc la face externe de la molette sont plaqués contre le panneau mural ; en cas de défaut d'horizontalité de la tablette, celle-ci ayant son nez penchant vers l'avant, on tourne alors la molette pour dévisser le corps cylindrique et procurer l'extraction de la face externe de la molette hors de son logement, la face externe faisant saillie par rapport au chant arrière de la tablette. La face externe de la molette en butant par compression contre le panneau mural, engendre la remontée du nez de la tablette, mettant la tablette de niveau horizontalement.Thus, exceeding the wheel at the underside of the tablet allows the maneuver (rotate), while being extremely discreet visually. Furthermore, during the assembly of the tablet, the wheel and therefore the cylindrical body are completely returned to their housing, the outer face of the wheel is then at most coplanar with the rear edge of the tablet. In the mounted position of the tablet, the rear edge of the tablet and therefore the outer face of the wheel are pressed against the wall panel; in case of lack of horizontality of the tablet, the latter having its nose leaning forward, then turn the knob to unscrew the cylindrical body and provide extraction of the outer face of the wheel out of its housing, the outer face protruding from the rear edge of the tablet. The outer surface of the wheel abutting against the wall panel, causes the rise of the nose of the tablet, leveling the tablet horizontally.

L'invention est également relative à un ensemble comprenant un panneau mural et un ou plusieurs dispositifs de support plan et éclairants de l'invention, le panneau mural pouvant être d'une seul tenant et comprenant une pluralité d'orifices dans chacun desquels sont introduits une partie en saillie des moyens de fixation mécanique et d'interface électrique formant patte d'accrochage, et le panneau mural comprenant sur sa face arrière des moyens d'alimentation électrique connectés aux pattes d'accrochage des dispositifs.The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a wall panel and one or more planar and illuminating support devices of the invention, the wall panel can be integral and comprising a plurality of orifices in each of which are introduced a projecting portion of the mechanical fastening means and electrical interface forming latching lug, and the wall panel comprising on its rear face power supply means connected to the attachment tabs of the devices.

La forme ouverte des pattes d'accrochage vers leur partie supérieure et leur retour perpendiculaire formant butée permettent de faire levier, c'est-à-dire que plus le dispositif (la face supérieure du dispositif) reçoit du poids, plus on appuie en quelque sorte sur cette face supérieure, et donc plus la butée de chaque patte d'accrochage sera en contact intime avec les moyens d'accueil et d'alimentation électrique situés à l'arrière du panneau mural, garantissant un très bon contact électrique.The open form of the attachment tabs towards their upper part and their perpendicular return forming a stop make it possible to make leverage, that is to say that the more the device (the upper face of the device) receives weight, the more one is supported in some way. so on this upper face, and therefore more the abutment of each lug will be intimate contact with the home and power supply means located at the rear of the wall panel, ensuring a very good electrical contact.

De préférence, les moyens d'alimentation électrique à l'arrière du panneau comportent des pièces d'interface de connexion électrique, de préférence les pièces étant métalliques de manière à simplifier la connexion électrique, pièces sur lesquelles sont accrochés les pattes d'accrochage des dispositifs, de préférence les pièces étant des profilés, en particulier agencés par paire pour correspondre respectivement aux bornes positive et négative d'une alimentation électrique, et un bloc d'alimentation électrique étant relié aux pièces d'interface de connexion électrique (les profilés).Preferably, the power supply means at the back of the panel comprise electrical connection interface parts, preferably the parts being metallic so as to simplify the electrical connection, parts on which are hung the latching lugs of the devices, preferably the parts being sections, in particular arranged in pairs to respectively correspond to the positive and negative terminals of a power supply, and a power supply unit being connected to the electrical connection interface parts (the sections) .

Au contraire de l'art antérieur pour lequel le panneau mural est en kit, constitués de plusieurs plaques murales, chacune étant montée de manière coplanaire les unes sur les autres avec montage en interface de profilés spécifiques dotés de rainurage approprié pour la fixation mécanique des étagères et de moyens de connexion électriques spécifiques, les dispositifs de l'invention sont fixés sur un panneau plan d'un seul tenant sur toute sa hauteur et seulement pourvu d'orifices agencés aux endroits désirés pour la fixation des dispositifs.In contrast to the prior art for which the wall panel is in kit form, consisting of several wall plates, each being coplanarly mounted on each other with interfacing of specific sections with grooving suitable for the mechanical fixing of the shelves and electrical connection means Specific devices, the devices of the invention are fixed on a flat panel in one piece over its entire height and only provided with orifices arranged at the desired locations for fixing devices.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de simplifier l'approvisionnement des panneaux muraux. Il est possible de percer sur place à la demande les emplacements choisis pour les orifices de fixation des dispositifs. C'est à l'arrière du panneau que seront fixés des profilés d'alimentation électrique et doté de simples ouvertures qui seront disposées en regard des orifices du panneau.The device of the invention simplifies the supply of wall panels. The locations chosen for the device mounting holes can be drilled on site on demand. It is at the back of the panel that will be attached power supply profiles and has simple openings that will be arranged opposite the holes of the panel.

En outre, le dispositif de l'invention procure une fixation totalement invisible après installation de la tablette, du fait que les moyens de fixation et d'interface d'alimentation électrique sont intégrés dans le corps de la tablette.In addition, the device of the invention provides a completely invisible fixation after installation of the tablet, because the fastening means and power supply interface are integrated in the body of the tablet.

Enfin, les tablettes sont interchangeables très aisément.Finally, tablets are interchangeable very easily.

Le service après-vente est grandement simplifié. En cas de dysfonctionnement de la tablette éclairante, la tablette peut être remplacée facilement sans intervention d'un spécialiste.The after-sales service is greatly simplified. In case of malfunction of the illuminating tablet, the tablet can be replaced easily without the intervention of a specialist.

L'invention porte également sur l'utilisation d'un tel dispositif ou d'un ensemble précité dans des magasins pour servir d'accessoires de présentation, ou dans des penderies ou des dressings.The invention also relates to the use of such a device or a set aforesaid in stores to serve as presentation accessories, or in wardrobes or walk-in wardrobes.

Dans la suite de la description le terme de « hauteur », « horizontal », « vertical », les qualificatifs « supérieur », « inférieur », d'un élément sont utilisés dans le cadre d'une installation normale du dispositif, c'est-à-dire relatif à une notion horizontale de l'installation du dispositif parallèlement au sol.In the remainder of the description, the term "height", "horizontal", "vertical", the qualifiers "superior" and "lower" of an element are used as part of a normal installation of the device. is to say relating to a horizontal notion of the installation of the device parallel to the ground.

    • des moyens d'éclairage 3 disposés sous la tablette (figure 2), par exemple sous la forme d'une barrette de LED,
    • des moyens de connexion électrique 4 destinés à la connexion électrique des moyens d'éclairage 3 avec les moyens d'interface 2 d'alimentation électrique.
The shelf 1 of the invention has opposite Figures 1 to 3 , and 10 :
  • a body 10 forming the plane support, and having two opposite general faces 10A and lower 10B and a peripheral edge 10C,
    • mechanical fixing means 2 which concomitantly constitute power supply interface means and are intended to provide power supply terminals and electrical current flow,
    • lighting means 3 arranged under the tablet ( figure 2 ), for example in the form of an LED strip,
    • electrical connection means 4 for the electrical connection of the lighting means 3 with the power supply interface means 2.

L'étagère 1 telle qu'illustrée sur les figures 1 et 2 est prête à être montée sur un panneau mural 5 illustré sur la figure 4, la figure 6 montrant l'étagère en position montée sur le panneau.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la plaque inférieure 11 de la tablette comporte une rainure 14 pour loger le fil 42.In the embodiment shown, the lower plate 11 of the tablet has a groove 14 for accommodating the wire 42.

Enfin, la tablette comporte avantageusement en regard des figures 12 et 13, des moyens de réglage 6 du niveau de la face supérieure 10A sans avoir à démonter la tablette lorsqu'elle est déjà montée. Ces moyens de réglage se présentent en particulier sous la forme d'une molette agencée en dépassant de la face inférieure 10B du côté du chant arrière (chant associé à la partie en saillie 21) pour pouvoir la tourner (double flèche de la figure 12).Finally, the tablet advantageously has opposite Figures 12 and 13 , adjustment means 6 of the level of the upper face 10A without having to disassemble the tablet when it is already mounted. These adjustment means are in particular in the form of a wheel arranged protruding from the lower face 10B of the side of the rear edge (singing associated with the projecting portion 21) to be able to turn (double arrow of the figure 12 ).

La molette vissée dans le corps du dispositif et apte à être dévissée, la molette présente une face dite externe qui est rentrée dans le corps du dispositif ou est au plus coplanaire avec le chant arrière du dispositif lorsque la molette est complètement vissée dans le corps du dispositif, la face externe étant destinée à venir en saillie du chant arrière du dispositif si besoin pour régler le niveau (l'horizontalité) du dispositif.The wheel screwed into the body of the device and able to be unscrewed, the wheel has a so-called external face that is retracted into the body of the device or is at most coplanar with the rear edge of the device when the wheel is completely screwed into the body of the device. device, the outer face being intended to protrude from the rear edge of the device if necessary to adjust the level (horizontality) of the device.

En regard des figures 14A et 14b, la molette 6 comporte un corps fileté cylindrique 60 et une tête 61 à paroi circulaire périphérique et perpendiculaire au corps. De préférence, la paroi circulaire 61 est crantée pour une meilleure préhension. La paroi circulaire délimite deux faces, une face dite externe 62, plane, et une face interne opposée 63 reliée au corps fileté perpendiculairement. Le pas de vis du corps fileté est micrométrique.With regard to Figures 14A and 14b , the wheel 6 comprises a cylindrical threaded body 60 and a head 61 with peripheral circular wall and perpendicular to the body. Preferably, the circular wall 61 is notched for a better grip. The circular wall delimits two faces, an outer face 62, plane, and an opposite inner face 63 connected to the perpendicularly threaded body. The thread pitch of the threaded body is micrometric.

La molette est accueillie dans le corps du dispositif dans un logement 7 comprenant un évidement taraudé 70 pour loger le corps fileté 60, et un évidement transversal 71 débouchant sur l'extérieur du dispositif au niveau du chant arrière 10C.The wheel is accommodated in the body of the device in a housing 7 comprising a threaded recess 70 for housing the threaded body 60, and a transverse recess 71 opening on the outside of the device at the rear edge 10C.

La paroi circulaire 61 fait saillie par rapport à la face inférieure 10B de la tablette 10 et du côté du chant arrière 10C (chant associé à la partie en saillie/patte d'accrochage ici non visible sur les figures).The circular wall 61 protrudes with respect to the lower face 10B of the shelf 10 and the side of the rear edge 10C (edge associated with the projecting portion / hooking tab here not visible in the figures).

En position totalement vissée du corps fileté 60 dans la tablette, la face externe 62 de la molette est rentrée dans l'évidement 71 ou au plus est coplanaire avec le chant arrière 10C de la tablette. En dévissant le corps fileté cylindrique 60 de la molette, cela engendre la sortie/l'extraction de la face externe 62 de la molette vers l'extérieur de la tablette en faisant saillie par rapport au chant arrière 10C.In fully screwed position of the threaded body 60 in the tablet, the outer face 62 of the wheel is retracted into the recess 71 or at most is coplanar with the rear edge 10C of the tablet. By unscrewing the cylindrical threaded body 60 of the wheel, it generates the output / extraction of the outer face 62 of the wheel to the outside of the shelf projecting relative to the rear edge 10C.

Lors du montage de la tablette, la molette est à l'état totalement vissée dans le corps de la tablette, et le chant arrière 10C de la tablette et donc la face externe 62 de la molette sont amenés en étant plaqués contre le panneau mural. En cas de défaut d'horizontalité de la tablette, celle-ci présente son nez qui penche vers l'avant ; on tourne alors la molette pour dévisser le corps cylindrique 60 et procurer la sortie de la face externe 62 de la molette hors de son logement et en saillie par rapport au chant arrière de la tablette. La face externe de la molette bute alors par compression contre le panneau mural 5, ce qui engendre la remontée du nez de la tablette, mettant la tablette de niveau horizontalement.When mounting the tablet, the wheel is in the fully screwed state in the body of the tablet, and the rear edge 10C of the tablet and therefore the outer face 62 of the wheel are brought by being pressed against the wall panel. In case of lack of horizontality of the tablet, it has its nose leaning forward; then turn the knob to unscrew the cylindrical body 60 and provide the output of the outer face 62 of the wheel out of its housing and protruding from the rear edge of the tablet. The outer face of the wheel then abuts against the wall panel 5, which causes the rise of the nose of the tablet, leveling the tablet horizontally.
